I'm often getting some form of "you're rate limited", "not allowed to perform this action" etc. until I hard-reload the full page.
Given that others have reported it, and it's been there for a long time, I suspect Twitter at the very least intentionally doesn't put too much resources behind the web site to force people to use the app.
Of course, if a service really wants to push an app onto me, it's clear that the app gives them some real benefits, and its usually the kind that aren't a benefit for me (more tracking, better ways to push ads, more "engagement" notifications, ...). So the harder something wants to push an app, the clearer it is that I never, ever want their app to touch my device.
- xur17 6y ago> I'm often getting some form of "you're rate limited", "not allowed to perform this action" etc. until I hard-reload the full page. I thought I was the only person dealing with this.. It happens for pretty much every tweet that I open in a browser. After a refresh, everything loads fine, but it's quite annoying.
- thekyle 6y agoYeah, I always thought it was because I use a VPN but maybe not.
- mcintyre1994 6y agoI get this every single time a tweet opens in the iOS web view. I have got their app but either they or Apple or someone screwed something up and tweets never open in it.
- arsome 6y agoInteresting, every single time for me in Firefox for Android, I figured it was some kind of bot detection because of my less-than-common user agent.
- ppf 6y agoI get that for most tweets I open (not logged in - I don't have an account) in my mobile browser. I get a much better success rate if I open it in private browsing mode.
- blue52 6y agoI never install programs ("apps") on a primary device that I use for personal comms. Even with all the sandboxing and jails, the privacy risks are astronomical. And like you said, an "app" only benefits the greedy corp, not us.
- searchableguy 6y agoI think it's intentional. It doesn't happen when I am on desktop using the same site with virtually no change. Are you also using Firefox by any chance?
